I know that a lot of the regular posters here in Adult Fiction really love this book. I've been meaning to read it for years and it's probably the modern classic that I'm most excited about. Is anyone else going to read it for the first time this month?

funny - was thinking about this only the other day, and thinking how much I'd got out of a re-read - it's such a rich book. I'm definitely interested in another read and a chance to talk to other people about it.

Ooh, yes yes. I love this book. I went all fangirl when I saw Margaret Atwood speak last year.
